Hi all, I'm a Data Engineer with 2+ years of experience in IT field. I wanted to do MBA and switch my career. I have attempted all the CAT exams from 2019 and was just able to reach 90%ile. So I'm looking to study abroad. I'm planning to start preparation for GMAT but I'm confused with the information available in the internet. I see that each individual is suggesting to buy a certain prep course/books. Anyone please let me know what are the best available resources and where to start the preparation.

note: with my experience in CAT preparation, i can say i'm weak in verbal section compared to quants.

Hey there. If you click the links in my signature ("The 'getting started on ________ starter kit'"), these will take you to a whole list of free resources (videos and blog posts) that do a pretty solid job of exposing you to the biggest things you need to succeed on the test.

I hope you give them a look!

Hi nagasatish,

You can go through this article to understand the right way to prepare for GMAT.

https://www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/202 ... L6b4hafmwA

As GMAT is an adaptive test, I suggest you to go with an online course as it helps you take adaptive quizzes and provides you all the content on a single platform. The best way to choose an online course is to check out the free trials of the courses out there and then choose the one which suits you the most. But make sure to choose the course which can help you with not only the concepts but also the application of concepts. And it would be even better if the course can help you with the study plan as it will help you be clear of what to study on any given day. You can start by creating a free study plan for yourself here:
https://www.gmatwhiz.com/

And I can definitely help you with the study strategy. GMAT is a test which focuses on application of concepts. So, you need to make sure that you learn not only the concepts but also their application. Please schedule a call with me using the link below so that I can guide you in a better way.

Hi nagasatish,

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT/mock Test; you can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi nagasatish,

Regarding prep courses, in addition to seeking advice in this thread, take a look at the GMAT Club reviews for the best quant and verbal courses, and also read through some GMAT success stories to see what materials have worked well for other test-takers.

You also may find it helpful to read this article about how to score a 700+ on the GMAT.

Good luck!
